How do I switch to Safari

I have both Internet Explorer and Safari on my iMAC. When I click on links in emails my computer automatically opens in Internet Explorer. I want it to automatically open in Safari. How do I change this? Thanks.

Hi Deborah
a nice easy one this....
Open Safari Preferences from the main safari menu.
Select the General tab
Choose Safari in the "default web browser" box

How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

Hi All,
I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
thanks for your replies,
equi

Barney,
many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
Thanks,
equi

On Safari, How do I switch to another user account?

But the hiccup is that I can't launch Safari. I wanna try and test another user account for trouble shooting purposes. But the question is, how do I switch if I can't launch it? Anyone out there in the universe have an idea?
Would appreciate the help.
Thanks!
- Michael

If you can't launch Safari, that probably means it's crashing on launch. Launch the Console application and look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to Safari, WebProcess, or PluginProcess. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot.
These instructions may not apply if you're really on 10.4 as your profile says.

I now have version 8.0 on my ipad2. When using Safari seach bar a favourites box and recently visited sites box now pops up. How do I switch it off?

ipad2 v8.0. When using the safari search bar, a box pops up with favourites eg Apple, and recently visited sites. How do I switch this off? It's really irritating having all this stuff populate the screen.

I have not seen your error in either my IE or my chrome. I do note that you are using a "strict" Document Type Declaration.
You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

My iphone 4s has no itunes and a new "hard of hearing" blue screen SIRI after the 6.1.3 download. Where did it go? How do i get it back? And how can i switch back to the old gray SIRI?

Hello there, tonjay82.
There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
Particularly of note is the following:
You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
and
Additional Information
If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.
Thank you for reaching out to us at Apple Communities on this issue.

How do you switch between 64-bit and 32-bit Java configuration?

I've downloaded the latest Java plug-in for an online service, but when I go to run the service on Safari or Firefox browsers, I get a message that 32-bit Java is needed and my machine is running 64-bit. How do you switch back and forth?

Similar concern here. No 64 bit version. I purchased the Photoshop CS5 downloadable upgrade. I have installed the program but only see the 32 bit version. Image / Mode shows 8, 16 and 32 bit versions and no 64 bit.
Start Programs offers only a single version of Photoshop which based on the splash screen is 32 bits. Did I miss something during the install?

Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
Keyboard shortcuts:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

Have a new mac desktop that I want to use for syncing i-pad currently synced with old pc which I will be sicarding. How do I switch computers with my I-pad??

longer How do I switch computers for syncing?

The absolute best way to do this is to transfer your iTunes library from the old computer to the new one. You can find a numbr of ways to do that here.

If you want to spend the money for a computer application that will let you transfer all of the content from the iPad to iTunes - look at
Touchcopy
However, I have posted this many times over the past few months. If you follow these instructions you should be fine. This will transfer the purchased content from the iPad into iTunes on the Mac. You will still want to get your photo library and any CD's that you imported into iTunes on the new Mac. That is why transferring the iTunes library to the new Mac is the best way to go.
When you set up the new Mac - if you can import or migrate all of the PC content onto the Mac - this will all be a non issue, but I'm not sure how to bring all of your PC content onto the Mac. Going from an old Mac to a new Mac was a breeze, but I know nothing about transferring the content from a Windows PC.
The 3 basic things to remember - authorize the computer, (Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Authorize this Computer) transfer purchased content and backup.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your Mac, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your Mac and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

This support site will help you with transferring iTunes music to your new computer - if you have an iTunes library of music on another computer or hard drive.

The worst case scenario is that you can download all of your apps again if needed - but you will not retain the data or app settings - but it is always an option if everything else fails - but it won't fail!

From a new ipad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the ipad?

From a new iPad user: if I'm listening to live radio, how do I switch it off to move to another site without switching off the iPad?

If you're listening to radio from the app, you need to go to that App (press Home button twice for multitasing menu and tap on its icon), and stop it there. If there is no such feature - you can "kill" the app, open multitasking menu again, hold one of the icons for couple of seconds, and click "X" symbol next to the radio app.
If the radio streams in Safari (web browser), you can simply stop it by closing the tab - tap little "X" next to the tab where the radio is playing.
Hope this helps

Should i switch to Safari?

Im kinda stuck in between switching or not.. Im currently a chrome user, have been for many years.. But recently ive been looking into the memory usage and porfomance of chrome... Basically if you know anything about computers and how they run then this explains it all,
Id like to switch to safari but theres so many reasons i cant.. For one i use and have a chromecast and chromecast plugin isnt avilable for any other browser except chrome also other things like adblock. Another reason is for things like android devices... It easily syncs between my iPhone, Mac, and nexus 7 meaning if i switch to safari then i wont beable to easily bookmark or access webpages open on my other devices without a hassle.. If you have any ideas for me and can try to convince me to switch itd be great!

After updating to 3.1 my Mail application no longer displays .gif images correctly when composing emails. I have a gif in my signature and it's displaying larger than it should. Same thing happened to Mail on my MacBook Pro after doing the Safari update. I wish I hadn't done the update now.

HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

Thank you again for your time, GB.
I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year). When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing. So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID. When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted.
So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested. Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine. However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem: Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear. Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see. UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup? Would that work?
Thanks.

I had a trial version, and tonight I bought it. But buttons led me to the Windows version which I accidentally bought. I have Mac. What do I do? How do I switch it over to a Mac version?

Hi scarabs55,
Are you working with Acrobat or Photosohp? (You mention both PDF files and photos, so it's not clear.)
Let us know what software you're thinking about upgrading and we can point you in the right direction.
Best,

How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.
